SPECIALISING IN SERVICE PRODUCTION

Global TV commercials, music videos, award-winning directors, international and local crews, and partnerships with international production companies; we go above and beyond to provide the best service production, covering every aspect. The extraordinary doesn’t faze us. We’ve trained sheep to jump. We built a distillery when there wasn’t one. We see a last minute change in creative as a challenge not an inconvenience.

Setting your shoot in Motion - the Logistics

From the moment you contact us, you’re in safe hands; we’re well versed in service producing large-scale projects with even bigger ambitions. We have great relationships with suppliers, caterers, hoteliers, crew and location owners throughout the UK. Whatever the brief or concept, we will always ensure that your shoot finishes on time and on budget. Best of all, the size of our team ensures that your shoot will have a strong support network both on set and in the office.

Motion Locations

Our in-house location library has 120,000+ professionally shot images and more than 1500 locations; it is a massive draw of using our production service. There are epic northern landscapes, islands and car-commercial friendly roads, cityscapes and streets, industrial spaces, medieval castles and Scottish estates, sure; but we also have airports, malleable office spaces, studios, everyday family homes, schools and distilleries. In short, we have everything you could need.

“LS Productions are amazing! Best service production I’ve ever had.”

Equipment Hire and Drone Filming

Whether it’s a Russian Arm, a Crane or a Low Loader; we can get any filming equipment you need. Unlike other parts of the world, the use of drones for filming is legal in the UK, making our country a fantastic one for moving image shoots. We’re up to date with all of the legal jargon, filming restrictions and safety legislation, and we have a fantastic drone partner in LA Media. Not what you need? Then we’ll charter a helicopter with an on board camera and a gyro stabilized rig instead.

SCOTTISH EXPERTS AND UK-WIDE SERVICE

Scotland is in our blood. We know this beautiful country inside and out, and can vouch for it as a fantastic shoot destination. It isn't the extent of our knowledge, though; we shoot regularly in the North of England, have a production partner in London and consider our service location to be flexible to your needs.

Casting: In Front of the Camera

Every shoot has different casting requirements and we can work to any brief. “Real” people. Whisky distillers. Athletes. Young children. Actors. People of all ages, diversities and hair colours (including red heads – we have a few of them). We’re experienced in local and street castings, and have great relationships with fantastic Casting Directors and model and actor agencies. If you need help casting for your project, look no further. We can even cast a Highland Cow.

“I can’t tell you how many people have said how fantastic the shoot was.”

Bank of Scotland

If we had our way, Game of Thrones star James Cosmo would be king of the North. He was cast as a faithful Spirit Guide in the latest adverts for Bank Of Scotland, imparting his wisdom to prospective mortgage holders.
